I am sooooo excited for Divi 4.0! This update is a game changer. It will seriously change the way you build websites and do work for your clients.

So, I went away. If you’re curious why, tune into this episode. This is definitely the most personal episode I’ll ever publish on this show. 😳

Rebranding is hard and scary! But it’s so important if you want to keep attracting the right customers and your business has gone in another direction. This episode is longer than normal, but I break down how to get started with your rebrand step by step.

One of the biggest complaints I hear from DIY web designers is they don't have a ton of time. There are somethings you can't skip -- you'll need visual assets -- but you can speed up the design process by taking advantage of Divi's portability function.<br /><br />Resources mentioned:<br /><br />Designerless.com<br />DiviCake.com<br />ElegantTheme.com

Show notes: designerless.com/podcast<br /><br />I keep hearing questions about: do you need a child theme for Divi?<br /><br />Well, the answer is basically, no....unless you're changing your functions file or making other changes to the code of the theme. For just updating CSS, you can do that all in Divi Theme Options. In this podcast episode I talk about child themes, and if you decide you need one I suggest you use the plugin One-Click Child Theme which creates a child theme for you instantly.<br /><br />Also, since recording this episode, I've discovered another plugin for child theme creation, and that's the Child Theme Creator, and it has been updated recently.
